The SCDNR Hunting and Fishing License for Disabled Veterans is a (3) three-year license. To be eligible you must have a VA Service-Connected Disability and have a rating of 10% or more to apply. That's right! Any percentage of disability, not just for 100% P&T Veterans!!!

Sharing from our SE Division Vice Commandant, Jerry Holt - I can say I have personally interacted with TJ for a variety of questions under his previous role as National Judge Advocate and he has always been a great resource.

We are fortunate in the Marine Corps League because politics and personalities have little influence on our selection of leaders. We’ve had a good track record of electing National officers who have made steady progress in improving the state and the status of our organization.
As Marines, long ago we learned that if one approach isn’t working as planned, we adapt, improvise and overcome. That doesn’t mean that we accept mediocrity, nor does it mean that we become overly aggressive in initiating change. The time has come for us to seriously evaluate the performance of our National Commandant, Warren Griffin. Warren is a quality individual, who is sincere in his efforts, but unfortunately his leadership style is not satisfying the current needs of our organization. We need to make a change in our leadership at this year’s National Convention.
Warren may be distracted because of his wife’s serious health issues, or perhaps it’s his low-key leadership style, but the League is suffering a loss of direction and prestige, especially in the eyes of some of our major partners and other leaders in the League.
Earlier this week, the Past National Commandants discussed with Warren the need for change. They have recommended that he step aside and not run for re-election at this year’s convention. It’s not clear what his decision will be, but if he does decide to run, the National Senior Vice, TJ Morgan has agreed to run against him.
TJ has served two years as National Judge Advocate, two years as National Jr Vice and in August will have completed a year as the National Senior Vice. He has also served two years as Assistant NVC and three years as National Vice Commandant for the Northwest Division. I’ve worked with TJ for the past four years. He is very competent, dedicated and ready to take over the reigns of the League. He isn’t aggressively seeking the position of National Commandant at this time, but he recognizes the harm the League can suffer if we don’t make an immediate change.
Please distribute this to your Detachments. Since this year’s National Convention is on the west coast, we may have fewer attendees from the Southeast Division than normal, but I encourage you to refer to the National Administrative Procedures, Section 2020 through 2035 to ensure that those Detachments who do send attendees maximize their allowable voting delegates.
I also encourage you to ask your delegates to support TJ Morgan for National Commandant at the August 2024 National Convention. Thanks for your consideration. You can contact me if you’d like to discuss further.
